Mary Jane was born in Dun-

achieve the -double silver
medal that she now holds. She
skated as an amateur for 17
years in 'various western On-
tario competitions on a regular
basis until 1964 when she
joined the Ice Capades.
Halfway through the
following season, she left the
show. "I got tired of living out
of a suitcase," she said. "There
was a lot of hard work, but it
was fantastically interesting."
After skating for so many
years, it was a natural step to
turn to instructing the art.

While with the school, she
also taught at Seneca Com-

stay at Seneca, she also con-
ducted a one week session in

Jane maintains that boys are
interested in taking these
lessons as it helps to improve
their game.
"I feel that it's very impor-
